We are in the heart of summer and most of you are taking advantage of the King to relax.
Yes, but sometimes UVB burns our skin deeply. An aromatic treatment that soothes burns and sunburns is easy to perform and very effective in repairing suffering skin. In Dominique Baudoux's latest book, Practical Guide to Family Aromatherapy , we find a small formula for skin burns.
This oil based on essential oils is very simple to make and take on vacation in the sun:
- HECT Lavender Aspic: 60 drops;
- TEO Rosewood: 20 drops;
- HECT Noble Laurel: 10 drops;
- St. John's Wort Vegetable Oil: 10 drops.
Place 3 to 8 drops of the mixture on the burn (sunburn) about 6 times a day. Be careful, this area can no longer be exposed to the sun because St. John's wort is photosensitizing. If you are still tanning, we advise you to replace this oil with calendula or avocado oil for mature skin.
